Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 66: No trace at all

"That's... The River Map?!"

When he saw the phantom appear, Xia Ye immediately blurted out, with a light flashing in his eyes.

According to the legend, a dragon horse appeared in the Yellow River, carrying the "River Map" on its back. The dragon horse presented the map to the sage Fuxi, who gained enlightenment from it and the "Pre-Heavenly Eight Diagrams" which had a profound influence on later generations were born!

The reason why Fuxi was able to do this is that the "River Map" itself is a collection of "the principles of heaven and earth", which contains "innate principles", "the smooth flow of the five elements", and displays the "natural and inaction" approach. With his sage fate and innate strength of understanding, he could naturally respond to it.

And there is no doubt that this is also a great opportunity for Xia Ye. Although he cannot directly analyze it because of Liu Tianhong's subjective perspective, the pattern in the virtual shadow should be almost correct. He immediately memorized it in his mind.

After that, Fuxi took the dragon horse away. It would not be long before he created the "Innate Eight Diagrams" and opened a new chapter of Chinese civilization. The orthodox way of cultivation for the extraordinary Chinese people would also sprout from then on...

But all this had nothing to do with Liu Tianhong. After the dragon horse's breath disappeared, it raised its head tremblingly. Seeing that there were many spirit beasts around with stronger breath than its own that were also "awakening", it quickly left under the guidance of instinct.

Speaking of which, Liu Tianhong did gain something from watching the saint appear in the world this time. Perhaps he was inspired by the aura of the dragon horse, or perhaps he got a hint of inspiration from the phantom of the "River Map". As the cold winter was approaching, he began to sleep.

And this sleep...

Hundreds of years passed.

Xia Ye just sat quietly at his resting place, calming his mind and relaxing his spirit.

At this time, he is in the "Big Snake Dream", and his perception of the passage of time will be synchronized with this, which means that his thoughts will also experience hundreds of years here and feel the passage of real years.

It has to be said that this is a huge test for anyone, just like walking on a road with no end in sight and nothing to show for it. Although you know how long the road ahead is, you are always afraid that you will never reach the end.

But at the same time, this kind of experience is very rare, simply because it is difficult for humans, a "short-lived race", to understand. Persisting in it can temper your patience and refine your character. As long as you can get through it, your character will be greatly improved!
Of course, for Xia Ye, who is "reasonable", no matter how long these years are, they are not difficult to endure, because he can see through it from the beginning to the end that all this is an illusion, and he takes the initiative to go deeper instead of being imprisoned in it.

"Um……"

"Practicing in dreams, this may be the most correct path for Huanan. Only if one's mind is strong enough and the soul is strong enough, one will not be swallowed up by other people's dreams."

Even in the process of quietly experiencing the passing of time, he suddenly realized something.

The only pity is that after hundreds of years, Fuxi must no longer be in this world. As a peerless saint of his generation, what is his final outcome? "Death" or "ascension"?
Or is it also "missing"?
Xia Ye had no way of knowing.

But he was not obsessed with it. After all, he still had more than 10,000 years to look back on...

In this way, time passed quickly, and about eight or nine hundred years later, Liu Tianhong revived again.

So far, it has been a thousand years old, and the first catastrophe for animal practitioners has quietly arrived. The sky is covered with dark clouds, heavy rain is pouring, and rolling thunder is brewing. But it is obvious that Liu Tianhong has completed a long transformation at this time. At this moment, his spirit is complete and his spiritual wisdom is fully awakened. Facing the rolling thunder, he is not afraid at all, and he fights out!

Very smoothly...

Liu Tianhong survived the first disaster...

When the thunderclouds dispersed, it also completed its first "real molting", shedding its old body and ushering in a new life.

There is no doubt that it is now qualified to become the overlord of the world. Its thousand years of cultivation have far surpassed those ordinary primitive aliens. So it put away its remains, selected a valley, and settled there.

After this, Liu Tianhong, who had gained spiritual power, began to actively think about practicing, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth following the natural sensations of heaven and earth, embarking on the true path of practice, and his cultivation level grew much faster.

However, because it was originally a spiritual beast, even with its full intelligence it still followed the nature of snakes. For a long time afterwards, apart from practicing and foraging, it spent most of its time sleeping, which was actually part of its practice.

Xia Ye was not in a hurry about this. He just sat there quietly, watching the flowers bloom and fall, and the clouds roll and unfold. He was always calm and not agitated at all...

Moreover, he knew in his heart that every time there was a change of eras outside, Liu Tianhong would feel something and go out to take a look. This was the instinctive perception of natural species to the changes in the world, and all he had to do was wait.

As expected, in the following thousands of years, Xia Ye followed Liu Tianhong through the "Fuxi Era", and successively experienced the "Yandi Era", "Huangdi Era", "Shaohao and Zhuanxu Era", "Emperor Ku, Emperor Zhi, Emperor Yao and Shun Era", "Dayu Era"...

Take a full look at the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" and the "Xia Dynasty Civilization"!
During this period, whenever the big snake left its nest, he would have a glimpse of it like the time he saw Suiren. The top people of every era left an indelible image in his eyes, and he also took the initiative to engrave them in his mind.

At the same time, with Xia Ye's deliberate attention, he also got the news of the final whereabouts of several of them. What is certain is that Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor, Shaohao and Dayu all disappeared suddenly one day. At most, they only left some information to their clansmen and the people who would succeed them, and then they disappeared.

The most worthy of further study is the last one, Dayu. As the founder of the Nine Provinces, his experience is legendary. He is another lucky person who was blessed by "auspicious signs" after Fuxi...

The scene of the "divine turtle" appearing above the Luo River that day and carrying the "Luoshu" to present to Dayu was deeply engraved in Xia Ye's mind!
On that day, since Liu Tianhong was no longer the little snake it used to be, and had gone through thousands of years of practice and cultivation, his skills had reached a very high level. He could observe Dayu from his perspective and see things more clearly.

Xia Ye could see that the moment he obtained the Luoshu, Dayu's own pattern reached an incredible state, and even resonated with the entire world. This scene made him doubt that he might have touched the threshold of "reaching the sky"...

Gained the "power of heaven"!
But even so...

After dividing the country into nine states and completely establishing the foundation of the Xia Dynasty, Dayu disappeared without any strange phenomena, which seemed extremely abrupt.

Because of this, Xia Ye was basically certain that no matter what their cultivation level was or what path they took, the final outcome of those geniuses and the top talents of each era would be...

Maybe they are all "missing"!
